Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

As a pure medical ninja, her own combat power is limited. When the team encounters a powerful ninja, she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself. Obito and Kakashi are already doing a great job of protecting themselves when facing strong enemies, so they simply don't have the energy to take care of her.

Unable to protect herself, she was eventually captured by the enemy, becoming a weak point in the team, and in the end, two people had to go to rescue her.

This shows that if a medical ninja lacks self-defense capabilities and the team's combat strength is insufficient, then the medical ninja is somewhat of a burden to the team.

This situation occurred in the anime with Sasuke's Hawk Team. Karin, as a pure medical ninja, would be protected by the others as soon as she was threatened, but in the end she was still taken hostage by Danzo.

Therefore, the facts show that adding pure medical ninjas to combat teams does more harm than good, and in some cases can even lead to the complete failure of important missions.

Medical ninjas need to be like Aoba and Tsunade, who can both heal and fight.

Aoba knew this would be the outcome, but he couldn't say anything yet, because the theory behind the plan sounded perfectly sound, and besides, it was Tsunade who proposed it and the Third Hokage who promoted it, so who was he to raise any objections?

Of course, none of that is the most important thing right now.

Because he realized that the announcement seemed to be aimed at him.

To verify the feasibility of the new tactical system, a group of young medical ninjas with "outstanding overall qualities" will be selected from the existing medical system and directly assigned to frontline combat squads as the first batch of pilot personnel.

The phrase "outstanding overall qualities" here refers not only to some medical ninjas from Konoha Hospital, but specifically to the medical interns in the Aoba Ninja Academy's medical experimental class.

Aoba was also dumbfounded.

No.

He graduated early, yet they still managed to drag him back with this ridiculous excuse.

Sure enough, the next day, the order regarding Aoba's transfer was issued to Konoha Hospital.

"Aoba, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep you here."

Ueno-sensei sighed, her voice filled with undisguised helplessness and apology.

Yesterday, Aoba told Ueno-sensei about this.

Professor Ueno also hurriedly sought out Biwako's manager.

Clearly, the plan failed.

"It's alright, Ueno-sensei. No matter where you are, you're contributing to Konoha."

Aoba gratefully bowed to Mr. Ueno.

Ueno-sensei truly intended to groom him as her successor, and even went to the department head to argue his case, but ultimately, he couldn't win against the powerful.

Aoba picked up the document.

It bears the Hokage's signature and the Medical Minister's seal.

With even the minister's approval, there's basically no room for compromise.

"Thank you so much, Hokage-sama..."

Qingye gritted her teeth inwardly.

No matter how much we planned, we never expected that the old man from the third generation would resort to such a "shady" trick!

Although he knew long ago that the Third Generation wouldn't let him stay in the hospital so peacefully, he didn't expect that the Third Generation would use the implementation of reforms to get him out.

Because if it's a separate order, the Third Hokage would need to summon Aoba separately for questioning. He can't say that someone is unwilling to do it and then force them to do it; otherwise, who would be responsible if problems arise?

The Third Hokage knew Aoba's thoughts. Even if he summoned him alone, Aoba would make all sorts of excuses. As the Hokage, he couldn't force him, so he simply dragged Aoba out of the hospital when proposing the reinstatement of Tsunade.

This is a calculated, open scheme!

Her political skills are truly remarkable.

Ueno looked at his most prized disciple, hesitant to speak.

In fact, she had taught him almost everything she could, and she didn't know the extent of Qingye's medical skills.

Deep down, Ueno actually preferred to send Aoba to the front lines, because staying in the hospital would only make her a second version of herself.

She will never become the second Tsunade.

Even surpass it!

But she knew better than anyone how dangerous the front-line battles were, and in the end, she simply patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be reckless when you get to the front lines. Remember what I taught you: the primary task of a medical ninja is to survive. Only by surviving can you save more people. Don't be like those hot-blooded idiots who rush in faster than taijutsu ninjas."

"Remember! Only those who are alive have the right to talk about the future!"

"Don't worry, teacher."

Aoba grinned and said, "My greatest strength is that I'm afraid of dying. When danger comes, I'll run faster than anyone else, even Kakashi can't catch me."

"Pshaw, what a load of bull!"

Yumiko couldn't help but retort.

Kakashi may have a bad reputation, but he is very strong. If he didn't have the strength, how could he abandon his teammates and go on a mission alone?

Aoba glanced at Yumiko, smiled without saying a word, and immediately turned to pack his belongings.

As Aoba packed his things and left Konoha Hospital, Yumiko stood at the door watching him leave.

Although her eyes were filled with reluctance, the barely suppressed smile on her face betrayed her.

"Although I've left the hospital, I'm still a medical ninja and will come back to visit you and Ueno-sensei often."

Aoba also looked moved and solemnly took her hand.

"Um~ actually, it doesn't have to be that... often."

Yumiko's smile froze for a moment, she withdrew her hand, and smoothed her hair.

"That won't do. I'll come back more often to exchange medical knowledge with Yumiko-neechan."

Aoba continued, her face full of sincerity.

"I hope that when I come next time, Yumiko-neechan's medical skills will have improved significantly. Please don't disappoint me."

His words almost made Yumiko blush.

Her feigned sadness crumbled, her face flushed red, and she wanted to get angry but couldn't find a reason to.

"You...you..."

She pointed at Qingye, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Keep it up, I believe in you."

Aoba turned around with satisfaction, waved casually under Yumiko's murderous gaze, and strode out of the Konoha Hospital gate.

Although the transfer order came down, Aoba was not immediately assigned to any squad.

The core of this reform is the "ninja squad," and the new ninja squads will only be formed after the students of the ninja academy graduate.

The Third Hokage simply transferred his personnel file from the hospital in advance, keeping it under his control and cutting off his way out of "slacking off" at the hospital.

Qingye was happy to have some free time, so he simply took a vacation.

……

three days later.

Konoha Ninja Academy once again welcomes a new graduating class.

Aoba accompanied Aunt Nadeshiko to the ninja academy.

A red banner hung at the school gate, which read "Warmly celebrate the graduation ceremony of the XXth Ninja Academy".

Although the situation on the border is increasingly tense and the shadow of war hangs over everyone, today is still a day to celebrate for these recent graduates.

A large crowd gathered at the school gate.

The parents wore a complex mix of pride and worry as they watched their children put on the headbands that symbolized their ninja identity.
